Horrible, how do you call this tape?
This is the worst tape I've ever used in my life. You would think that the biggest brand of tape would have figured it out. Duck packing tape is 10 million times better.

Easy to hold and use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great design! Easy to hold and use while packaging! Doesn’t slid out of your hands, tape isn’t hemming up on anything, love it! Great product! Tape is incredibly strong too!

Great Tape
I like this heavy duty tape for shipping boxes. It holds up well and keeps your packages sealed during shipping.

The best for my packages
I only use Scotch brand for mailing packages. I can trust the tape will hold securely.

So STRONG !
I've used this packing tape to hold together very heavy boxes that were almost disintegrating. Book Fair Returns for a school. Weve also used it to reinforcethe covers of heavily used reference materials. I also use it for at home lamination of cards and art projects.

Tape is pure crap
I purchased this tape to ship Christmas packages after years of satisfactory use of Scotch products. Don’t know what Has changed but this is pure crap. It doesn’t stick to anything, even it’s own dry side. That failure is a sure sign of America’s decline.

Tape is not sticky enough
I purchased this packing tape since it was supposed to be heavy duty. The tape won't even stick to the box. Very disappointed. I will not buy again.

Pure crap these days
The tape came off the roll so easily that it was hard to get it on the box tight. This used to be good tape but like almost everything else it is now so cheaply made that it is no good for what it’s supposed to be used for. I’ll never purchase another roll. Matter of fact I’m tossing the rest of this one in the trash and going to go buy some gorilla tape. Now that stuff...

Great Product
This dispenser works great, but now that the tape has run out, I would like to purchase refills. The only way to do so is to buy the entire set with another dispenser, or dispensers. (I now have two empty dispensers) Is there anywhere I can purchase just the rolls so that I don't have to waste plastic?

Good Value and good timing
We use Scotch Brand even though it is a bit more expensive. WE often use less to ship a package so the cost is reduced. We also appreciate that Staples delivers on time and complete orders
